What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things

Since I'm wrapping up my last two days of work at my current position, I'll be taking a little longer to answer replies.  I should be back to normal (or a reasonable facsimile) shortly. A couple cool things.  John Paulk, the posterboy for the lies about "ex-gay" therapy, has admitted that he's lied about being "ex-gay" … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”

One thing I see a lot of is that a lot of theists demand respect for their religion.   What I think is happening is that a lot of theists think that respect means the same as politeness, consideration and tolerance.  It doesn’t, at least not all of the time, or we wouldn’t need those other … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect” →

What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again

 Good ol’ Pat is beating the drum about Dungeons and Dragons again and how this game has “literally destroyed people’s lives”.   Ah, Pat, we can always count on you for a good lie for Jesus! I’m sure that Pat is feverishly pawing at his Chick tracts (absolutely ludicrous Christian tracts that tell a number of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 2 the “evidence”

Now onto Part 2 – the “evidence”  I’ll address the evidence that Ben has claimed for the existence of his God.   1. Arguments of natural theology – the existence of the universe, the beginning of the universe, the intuitive reality of moral facts, the human phenomenon of consciousness, the existed of human reason, the apparent … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 2 the “evidence” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 1 trying to show that the “supernatural” exists

The author of the blog I’ve been commenting on, Ben,  has chosen not to post my last response.  I offered to post it on my blog if he wished to respond to it and now it’s here!  Ben has said that “I'm trying to set a tone[at his blog] that will be comfortable for family and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 1 trying to show that the “supernatural” exists →

From the Kitchen – the World’s Best Lasagna

This weekend’s meal and a movie is the World’s Best Lasagnatm  and the movie is one we’ve watched before and love, John Carter (A Princess of Mars).  If you enjoy pulp, then watch it.  It’s a good movie and the reviewers, as usual, are to be ignored.  I’ve recommended the movie before here, so we’ll … Continue reading From the Kitchen – the World’s Best Lasagna →

What the Boss Likes – Darn, I’m late for Ask An Atheist day!

Apparently yesterday (April 18th) was Ask an Atheist Day.   And apparently no one told a lot of atheists. 🙂  We are indeed a hard group to coordinate. So, in honor of completely missing this, if you'd like to ask *this* atheist any questions about atheism and, well, just about anything else, please do.   If you … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Darn, I’m late for Ask An Atheist day! →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!

It’s that time of year again, when trees are blooming and legislators give a sop to their  constituents, trying to make believe that their version of Christianity is the state religion of Pennsylvania and the US.  Last year it was the nonsense about the “Year of the Bible”, which I posted about here, and here, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom! →

What the Boss Likes – Donate blood, not just during emergencies

The US experienced a bombing again.  Bombings don’t often happen in the US, but they do happen with some regularity.  Some of our legislators are far too stupid to actually remember the instances but they do happen (there are smart people in Texas, unfortunately the willfully ignorant ones often drown them out).  They also usually … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Donate blood, not just during emergencies →
